*Editor’s note:Turn down your volume before pressing play or Burt Watson will scare the shit out of you.

If you’ve never watched any of the episodes from Wanderlei Silva‘s video blog series, you’re missing out. It gives a rare and uncut glimpse into Wand’s life and his thoughts on the sport and his career.

The latest one takes place during the pre-fight media blitz ahead of Ultimate Fight Night 22 in Texas last week, but the best part is something that happened behind the scenes during a limo ride from one event to another. At around the 3:53 mark the usually quiet and cordial in person "The Axe Murderer" confronts Chael Sonnen about his recent bashing of Brazilian MMA luminaries Antonio Rogerio and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira when he said that earning a black belt from the two is like getting a Happy Meal toy from MacDonald’s.

"I’m thinking. You sell the fight, you make a promotion, it’s good, but you need to be careful talking about some things, like Brazil. You’re talking bad things about Brazil," Silva said, seeming to channel Don Corleone. "You don’t know Brazil. When You’re something you don’t know, you need to respect that thing."

"Sure. That’s not totally true," Sonnen replied with a smirk. "I’ve been to Brazil, actually."

That’s like me saying I know about construction because I’ve been to Home Depot.

Silva sees it the same way.

"No, no, you’ve been to Brazil, but I am Brazilian. Like you’ve been talking about the Nogueira brothers. These guys are the history of the sport; we need to respect these guys. You challenging him is okay. You know. One to one, you know? The promotion is good, but you need to respect some things," Silva asserted, obviously a bit more irritated with Sonnen’s smugness. "These guys need respect; and the country, you know? We need to have a good conduct about that. Okay? Don’t do that anymore, because that’s danger, no?"

"Sure, " Sonnen replied half-heartedly."

"In Brazil we have a saying: ‘You have respect, you don’t lose your teeth.’ In Brazil we say that," Wand said matter-of-factly without breaking his gaze on Chael, who looks like he wants out of the car. "Give respect, because we don’t know about the future, no?"

"Sure. Thank-you," Chael replied before Jennifer Wenk, the UFC’s director of PR intervened and told them to get along.

Considering Chael’s answer when I asked him a few moths before his fight with Nate Marquardt if Team Quest got the respect it deserved, he likely had to bite his tongue to not tell Silva what he thought about the word "respect."

Here’s the classic Chael line from the interview I did for MMA Authority Magazine:

"I don’t even know what respect means. Some dirtbag came u with that word when I was in junior high – some high school dropout – and now we’ve got kids killing each other citing a lack of respect as a motive. I don’t care anything about respect, whether I get it or give it."

It doesn’t look like he took any of Wanderlei’s advice to heart since he gave this backstage interview after his UFN 22 UFC Fight Club Q&A and not only questioned the legitimacy of Big Nog’s injury that forced him out of the bout with Mir, but also took a shot at "The Axe Murderer’s" record when dissing Nogueira’s replacement, Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic:

(Video courtesy YouTube/Fighters Only)

Here’s what he said about Wand, which is a far cry from his sedate, replies he gave him in the car in the video earlier.

"Cro Cop and Wanderlei Silva are the only two guys to ever headline UFCs with the most atrocious records in the UFC. Cro Cop and Wanderlei are these anomalies. They sell out, they’ve got a ton of fans and their atrociously bad records. So, you got Frank Mir — multiple time world champion. What are you gonna put on Cro Cop’s side? He won some fights in Japan that nobody cared about in a company that went under."

Way past his prime but will always be entertaining to watch. Class act, that Silva.

Agree with BossNasty. Wandy wasn't saying I'd have a gentleman's duel with you in the octagon and hopefully knock your teeth loose, sir. He's saying, "Look, motherfuc?er, you don't come to Brazil with that attitude or you're going to die a fiery death with car tires put around your body and then lit on fire. Plus, we'll probably beat your charred and smoking corpse til your teeth fall out. Then, I'll skull fu?k the hole that used to be your mouth." At least that's what his mumbled Engrish sounded like to me. Ha. He's one scary looking "cripple", especially in a car where a takedown is worthless and Jake Shields errr.. Chael... punches like Ralphie on A Christmas Story. Rassafrackin!

BossNasty- September 24, 2010 at 11:05 am

What Armfarmer fails to realize is that there is a referee in the cage and rules. In the car there's no one to save your ass. You would fight wanderlei while he's on crutches and pull some bitch move like sue him for fuckin you up. Also I'm pretty sure that watch your mouth no matter what language, dialect, or accent is universal. Show respect or lose your teeth doesn't have to be put in to words. Sonnen knew Silva told him to watch is fuckin mouth talking about his home town.

Elentius- September 24, 2010 at 9:51 am

I really like Wandy. I do think he is cool and all, but Chael would put him down and waste him. If he punched Chael in the face in the car then that would be a different story. I think Chael would win an MMA fight against Wandy at any weight though.

ArmFarmer- September 24, 2010 at 8:52 am

Yeah the guy just fought Anderson Silva for 23 minutes straight and showed no fear, but an old bald cripple has him shitting his pants. Right. I doubt a guy like Sonnen is very easily intimidated, plus I'd put money on Sonnen if they fought anyway. Sorry guys, you're all blowing it outa proportion. They are professionals, they are in a fucking car, they are going to see their boss, one of them is using crutches.. what do you want sonnen to do jump in the back seat and beat his ass? Give me a break.. he wasn't scared, homies. He just didn't understand what the fuck Wandy was saying.

Oh and by the way, I'd fight wanderlei.. pussies.

Stak40- September 24, 2010 at 8:49 am

What we didnt see was Armfarmer in the Video. 3:56 in the video you can kind of see the back of his head in Sonnens lap!

Loretta Cunt- September 24, 2010 at 8:24 am

thanks guys for the props on my analogy if i could only remember where i stole it from

Stak40- September 24, 2010 at 8:22 am

Agent

If Wandy began talking about "Respect and Brazil" and then somewhere down the line you heard "Respect and teeth" dont you think you would have gotten the picture?

agentsmith- September 24, 2010 at 8:12 am

Christ, in that second clip Sonnen acts like he's delivering a monologue on a late night talk show. Somebody's seriously over-writing their "jokes".

agentsmith- September 24, 2010 at 8:08 am

In Chael's defense, he probably couldn't understand half of what Wandy was saying. Especially the part about "have respect and you won't lose your teeth"... if not for the subtitles I would've understood "respect" and "teeth" and a bunch of mumbling in between.

doowm- September 24, 2010 at 7:52 am

Makes the ol' 'aint no fun when the rabbit's got the gun' phrase come to mind!Hhow awesome would it have been if Wandy flinched at Chael and made him REALLY shit his pants. What a puss! I hate ppl like that who show their true colors when 'the shit goes down'!!

Stak40- September 24, 2010 at 6:36 am

Oh yeah, bobcat, phone booth. I digs, give Loretta a T!

Stak40- September 24, 2010 at 6:35 am

Ah hahahahahaha! Wandy punked the shit out of Sonnen. Yall are right though. He did that shit truly gangsta. No need for yelling and talking all crazy. His reputation for being of fucking monster did most of the speaking for him.

rlh61- September 24, 2010 at 6:31 am

Two saying were just committed to my memory bank...one about respect and keeping your teeth....and one about fucking a bobcat in a phone booth...those are instant fucking classics!

Of course, I'll probably be drunk when I try to use them and fuck them both up. I'll ramble something about fucking Wandi's bobcat in a phone booth after removing it's teeth...ah, I can't wait.

Jersey Shua- September 24, 2010 at 6:26 am

There are without a doubt some frontrunners for comment of the month for this article. Wandy is the man.

shitbag- September 24, 2010 at 5:57 am

Ok, I'm back to hating Chael 100% for good now. Fuck you Chael, I don't have any respect for anything either, I think his whole life is a fucking mcdonalds happy meal. Put him in there against wanderlei, that son of a bitch will eat him alive. Wanderlei would probably be the worst style match-up for Sonnen. Wandy is aggressive, like Marquardt, but much obviously better than marquardt, he'll be tougher to get to the ground, and will create opportunities rather than wait for them like Silva.

Either way I'd like to take a giant shit on Chael Sonnen's face.

J_Spice- September 24, 2010 at 5:47 am

This video honestly made ME feel like i was about to get beat up. I can only imagine how Chael felt.

I bet thats why Chael failed his drug test. Wandy was so close to him and so angry that everyone in that car grew more hair on there balls. including the girl.

dogpt3- September 23, 2010 at 10:22 pm

Chaels the guy who get you real annoyed then threatens to sue when you blow up. . Talking shit about the Nogs is definitely offsides, fuck big nog will fight blind and with the flu. I bet Dana put them in a Van together just to test his character. Wandy is a gladiator, he just wants to fight. You see the respect he has for Dana because of the doors he's opened for fighters of his stature? Wandy would be paying to fight if that was his only option.

disastras- September 23, 2010 at 8:02 pm

Bastardizing judo? Ha. Much like America still belonging to Britain. Even if you did make a good point somewhere in your post, all your credibility is lost in the end... but you didn't.

mt59801- September 23, 2010 at 7:03 pm

I still want a pride/UFC/WEC grand prix. Split these guys into 3 teams according to which organization they started with and let them go until there's one winner, open weight classes, multiple fights in a night etc. . Winner takes home the triple crown grand prix belt.

As for brazil, when a Brazilian uses one of those fancy "locks" is it called a helio?, a gracie? Nope it's called a KIMURA for a reason. Helio Gracie invited master Kimura to teach in brazil so the signature BJJ move came from a traditional Japanese Judoka. So do you respect the brazillian arts and practioners or just give them props for bastardizing judo?

Under Banga- September 23, 2010 at 6:19 pm

Great post ! Vandy shows class. Sonnen sucks arse ! Pulled his head in when called out , visiting a country does not qualify one to critisize that country imo .
Dana an Obama wtf!
Heal well Vand ! Sonnen v Vandy ; make it happen Dana !
Banga

vaicavalo- September 23, 2010 at 6:17 pm

hahah respeito é bom e conserva os dentes

it is exactly it what wand tried to say, but it's very hard to speak english and suddenly change to portuguese hehehe

fatbellyfrank- September 23, 2010 at 6:00 pm

Is it just me or does anyone else think that every time theres a story about Sonnen or he opens his mouth his standing and reputation go further and further down the shitter, he is a serious pain in the fucken ass, typical smug cunt real estate agent, and Loretta Cunt, thats a fucken beautiful analogy, one of the best I've heard for a while

Mikey G- September 23, 2010 at 5:07 pm

Wandy you are a legend - Sonnen you are a pussy!!!

DazedNConfused- September 23, 2010 at 4:59 pm

So you got some nice fake teeth then Fried Taco? haha.
Seriously though if Wandy or someone of his type said that to me I doubt i'd act much differently. Gotta love Wandy, what a class act. No pussy in that guy that's for sure, he's just straight up, but still somehow does it in a nice way.

rampageisgod- September 23, 2010 at 4:17 pm

Chael Sonnen can eat a fat...diiiiick.

Fried Taco- September 23, 2010 at 4:13 pm

Respeito é bom, e conserva os dentes.

I hear that all the time, being married to a Brazilian woman.

Kimbos Bread- September 23, 2010 at 3:40 pm

Wandy looks like a Koopa Troopa, but I still love the guy.

Ascerendant- September 23, 2010 at 2:49 pm

"If you have respect you don't lose your teeth". Man, you gotta give it to those brazilian proverbs: straight to the point and very catchy at that.

I'm still unsure which is more epic though: Wandy's "either your brains or your signature will be on this respect-contract"-speach or Chael's WTF-face when Silva shows his tattoo around.

danomite- September 23, 2010 at 2:41 pm

what a puss. in the car he has nothing to say, but as soon as he thinks he's far enough away from Wand to avoid an ass raping he runs his mouth. I hope Brock calls him out on his remarks next time they see each other and I hope it's caught on video like this. What a bitch.

Oh, and hey Fael Sonnen your overall record is worse than Wand's and your UFC record is 4-4. You would think for a guy who pretends to be smart he would think more often before he opens his mouth.

About Wand, every time I see one of these behind the scenes videos of him I gain more and more respect for him. The guy was nothing but pure class the entire video.

oh, and "have respect and you won't lose your teeth" has to be one of my favorite sayings of all time. the fact that he said it to him face to face without even a hint of anger in his voice made it that much better.

Kid Clam Curtains- September 23, 2010 at 2:36 pm

Juice or no juice, Chael beats wanderlei's ass.

disastras- September 23, 2010 at 2:33 pm

Google Brazilian Favelas and then tell me Wanderlei's threat wouldn't make you shit yourself. Maybe just a little, but there would be a little shit in your drawers. Good thing ol' Chael is bat effing crazy.

WILLIEX- September 23, 2010 at 2:27 pm

Yea Chael you dont know about the future... like testing positive for steroids and having no fans on your side.. Karma

HipHopHieronymus- September 23, 2010 at 2:27 pm

ROFLCOPTER @ RWR my thoughts exactly

iTalia- September 23, 2010 at 2:08 pm

Holy shit, what the f*** is Wanderlei saying...he needs one of those Stephen Hawking computers to produce something intelligible.

Ring_Rust619- September 23, 2010 at 2:06 pm

@ Loretta.. LMFAO, great analogy

RwilsonR- September 23, 2010 at 1:53 pm

Even though I've seen it plenty of times before, I don't think I'll ever get used to how strange Wand looks in normal clothes. With that suit, hat and sunglasses on he looks like a 70 year old black man who should be sitting in front of a piano.

MKO- September 23, 2010 at 1:51 pm

Jay Silva sounds exactly like Steve Buscemi.

Loretta Cunt- September 23, 2010 at 1:51 pm

danger,no? lmao. wandy is king
i think both fighters did a good job of being somewhat respectful and wandy got his point across. it's one thing pounding anderson in the octagon but i'd rather try to fuck a bobcat in a phone booth than fight wandy in a moving car

Morningwood- September 23, 2010 at 1:47 pm

Wand looked at that chic and said, "I'll fuck you like a bucket of water!"

RwilsonR- September 23, 2010 at 1:47 pm

@ Tai-Pan - not saying I agree with Sonnen, but he was saying that these guys have atrocious *UFC* records. He was discounting their Pride records as worthless, and essentially saying that based on their UFC records, they shouldn't be headlining fights.

Though I wonder if Chael's old buddy Dan Henderson agrees that wins in Japan are worthless. I suppose the same could be said of Chael's wins in the WEC, since his weight class there is now defunct.

King Kong Kim- September 23, 2010 at 1:45 pm

Now we all know how Sonnen got cancer of the mouth!

easy21- September 23, 2010 at 1:44 pm

Chael was scared. I love the line "because we don't know about the future, no?" Wanderlei may have to whip chael's ass in the future

vaicavalo- September 23, 2010 at 1:42 pm

If Wanderlei look in my eyes and tell me I'll possibly lose my teeth if I don't behave I would crap in my socks

Tai-Pan- September 23, 2010 at 1:41 pm

Chael Sonnen 25-11
Cro Cop 27-7
Wanderlei Silva 33-10

Still love Sonnen's trash talk though.

FlashinLeather- September 23, 2010 at 1:40 pm

i was wondering when you guys were gonna post this

Dynamo- September 23, 2010 at 1:39 pm

Being 25-11-1 against lesser opponents, he shouldn't talk... And he didn't because he wasn't in a room full of people. A bit different face to face.

Ring_Rust619- September 23, 2010 at 1:37 pm

I would pay anything to see Wandy put Chael's teeth through the back of his neck!
